PayPal invoicing is convenient when you want clients to pay online, but PayPal takes a fee on each payment. Here's how to send a PayPal invoice — and how to create a free, professional invoice PDF when you'd rather be paid by bank transfer.
Open PayPal and go to Pay & Get Paid → Invoicing (a PayPal account is required).
Click Create Invoice, add the customer's email, line items and amounts.
Send the invoice; the client pays via PayPal (transaction fees apply to you).
PayPal shows when the invoice is viewed and paid.
No fees just to create and send an invoice
Professional PDF you can email anywhere
Automatic tax (GST/VAT/sales tax) and totals
Add bank details to be paid by transfer and skip payment fees
Creating a PayPal invoice is free, but PayPal charges a fee when the client pays. If you take payment by bank transfer, a free invoice generator avoids those fees entirely.
Yes — our generator creates a professional invoice PDF for free. Use PayPal when you specifically want online card/PayPal payment, and the generator when you don't.
Set your tax (GST, VAT or sales tax) and business/tax ID, and the generator produces a clean, tax-ready invoice.
